Recycling of materials in building and infrastructure applications are global concerns driven by natural resource preservation needs of modernized countries and sustainable development of emerging countries. This practical book explores the strategies necessary for successful recycling of cement-based materials to achieve sustainable and long service life. It investigates recycled cementitious materials to ensure decisive implementation and meet industry and societal challenges.

Presents the state of the art in recycling one of the most used materials in today’s construction sector
Covers construction and demolition waste and recycled concrete, UHPC, and road base material

Aimed at readers in materials, civil, and construction engineering, this book offers guidance to professionals and researchers developing strategies for sustainable application of cement-based materials.
